I'm talking about places like Israel or some parts of the US.
Doesn't matter really what place, but the actual experience of it.

You have to be ready for war at a moment's notice. The Vikings believed in Valhalla. The Israelis do butthole kegel excercises every day to stay in shape. The Klingons eat food they have to kill in their mouths.

It's quite weird, really. I am only a few miles from the place, so we get people from Detroit trying to steal from our supermarkets. They look incredibly obvious when they do, squinting their eyes and looking side-to-side.

They are currently looking for a Hacker! Lots of other jobs there. I worked at Qualcomm in Israel and taught a Engineering course at the local university. 6 months straight one time and multiple visits of 2-3 weeks over 8 years. Never did see a single crime or military event but did read about wot I missed while there. If people were being murdered around town? One key difference tween there and say Chicago - Hoods in many USA cities you do not walk through. Israel from end to end had no bad areas - of course they also have Army men n women with Uzi's all over the place. Paris the same.
Non Q work - did business in Israel for decades.

When you work for an intelligence agency, they dispose of you when they don't need you anymore.

Rain a coming this way so its tyme to do my 10 on the beach in some gloomy weather. Surfing was very sweet today n should be better but in the rain tomorrow.
